Re: [Bug 10825] i18n comment 21 : location of user agent window's overall vertical scrollbar

I agree. The proposal itself is a (draft, for now) W3C Note, and that should
count for something, but we should figure out in what other W3C documents
such requirements should be mentioned.

Regarding the scrollbars, I intend to get the requirement into the CSS spec.
